Irony Lost

9/10/2025Aria v1
[Intro] [Verse 1] Sipping espresso in a velvet blazer, Mirror shades hide a borrowed phrase-maker. Your vintage vinyl spins a hollow tune, Monocle opinions under a plastic moon. [Chorus] Oh, we’re so profound in our rented rooms, Dancing to chords that we never could prove. Aesthetic sermons, but the truth’s a mess— We’re just mannequins in retro dress. [Verse 2] You quote French films with a misplaced grin, Your typewriter clacks but the words are thin. A Polaroid smile, a thrift-store creed, Philosophy’s a prop for the pose you need. [Chorus] Oh, we’re so profound in our rented rooms, Dancing to chords that we never could prove. Aesthetic sermons, but the truth’s a mess— We’re just mannequins in retro dress. [Bridge] Is the irony lost in the reverb haze? Or are we all just chasing yesterday’s praise? The jangle fades, the synth line repeats— A hollow crown for the obsolete. [Outro]
